installation Instructions 1.) Stock Component Removal To begin installing this kit it is necessary to raise the rear end of the bike using a suitable hoist. Be sure to keep the bike centered on the front wheel to keep the bike from tipping over. Once you have the bike lifted and properly secured, begin with the removal of the following stock components ( For detailed information on the removal of these parts, please consult your factory manual) : 1.) Muffler or mufflers 2.) Left side and lower body panels 3.) Voltage regulator (08 model only) 4.) Front sprocket cover 5.) Front sprocket 6.) Chain 7.) Rear Axel, wheel and brake assembly 8.) Pivot tube and swingarm
2.) New Swingarm Installation A. Most of the pieces needed are installed on the swing-arm. You’ll need to install the shock mount block with the 4 supplied flat head 5/16″bolts, use red loctite and torque to 25 ft lbs. B. Insert the 2 supplied pivot bushings in the pivot tube. Move your new swingarm into position. Once you have the swingarm in position reinsert the pivot tube to hold it in place. C. On some bikes (07′ and earlier Busa’s) it is necessary to grind approximately 1/8″ off the frame for chain clearance. Not all bikes will require this, but it is best to mock up and test fit before final assembly.

The stock mufflers on the GL1500 Goldwing tend to rust after a few years. It doesn’t really matter how much you clean them because the design means that they tend to collect condensation which turns into water, then the dreaded tinworm rots them from the inside out. There is a drain hole in each muffler (near the front) to allow some water out, but the hole is really in the wrong place as the mufflers almost always rot at the ends near where the tailpipe is welded on. Replacing mufflers on the GL1500 Goldwing is easy enough and you really don’t need a tutorial for the task. But I did have a camera handy on the day I did the job so you may as well have the benefit of the images. This is a common sight on a GL1500 Goldwing. The mufflers rot from the inside out and eventually the ends just blow off. Believe it or not, these mufflers are on a 1997 GL1500SE with only 7,700 miles that was always stored in a dry garage! I replaced them in April 2004 and they had been almost as bad as this since 2002, but the owner of the Goldwing wasn’t using it much so he didn’t bother replacing them until 2004
